Dolly Parton, the beloved country music legend and cultural icon, has died at age 80, passing peacefully in Nashville.

Despite recent health struggles—including missing a Dollywood opening due to dizziness—she never stopped chasing her dreams. Tributes poured in from Miley Cyrus to former President Trump, honoring her as a “pure heart” whose legacy includes the Imagination Library, theme parks, and over 100 million records sold.
